We created the enemy. Afghanistan and the Taliban wouldn't have happened if we would have invested in the countries infrastructure after we helped them run the Russians out in the 80's. We left them high and dry. We supported Bin Ladin then and gave him millions. Hell, we supported Saddam in the 80's too. All this "Fighting for our freedom" nonsense is hilarious and a pathetic excuse to continue wasting 2/3 of our military budget.

We supported saddam until he started gasing all the shia's and Kurds in his country. The Iraq war was in the making for atleast ten years before it began. Saddam ignored the UN on multiple occasions, it's actually surprising we didn't go in during the late 90's. The taliban didn't take over Afghanistan until way after the soviets left. We may have supported the mujahideen at one point, but obviously they started attacking us so yea that make us enemies.

We ran Saddam out of power because he harbored terrorists and killed millions. The Taliban seized power after "we" didn't help them set up a government. We didn't really "create" terrorist groups. Osama was trained by the US as well as many others to fight back against terrorism in Iraq. We didn't give him money to cause terrorism, we gave them money to fight it. The moral of the story is the world is -blam!-ed up and filled with nut jobs and idiots.

Moral of the story is we need to quit playing GI Joe and stop wasting money in the middle east. What benefits are we currently getting now that our Syrian bombing campaign costs ten million dollars a day to run?

It's a proxy war against Russia, to avoid a Cold War. You think Trillions is a lot. Try funding a modern Cold War, or a straight all out ww3. It's a chess game, not checkers, educate yourself.

I agree that we should worry about ourselves rather than other countries. But the hard thing about isis is that they are everywhere. Scattered across the world. Even after this terrorist attacks in Paris isis made multiple threats to Washington. If we don't do something about it, sooner or later it'll come and bite us in the ass.
-
Why do they want to bite us in the ass? We keep poking our noses where it don't belong and keep pissing off the wrong people.

Terrorists kill because well they can and feel that it is right. It's our business if they threaten us or even our allies like france.
